Vegan Creamy Potato Soup (only simple ingredients) 🍲

When it comes to comfort food, it's hard to beat a warm bowl of fresh soup. And if you haven't tried it already, I'm sure this creamy potato soup will surprise you it's creamy, comforting, and filling, making it the perfect meal for a chilly day. ❄️

Potato soup is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike. However, traditional potato soup recipes often call for cream or butter, making them off-limits for those following a plant-based diet. Fortunately, there are plenty of vegan alternatives that can be used to create a creamy and delicious potato soup! 🤩

This vegan creamy potato soup recipe uses a combination of ingredients to create a rich and flavorful broth. The base of the soup is made up of potatoes, onions, and garlic, which are simmered in vegetable broth until tender. To thicken the soup and add creaminess, plant-based milk is added. And for some cheese flavor I added nutritional yeast. 🧀

One of the great things about this soup is that it's incredibly versatile. You can add different ingredients to give it a unique flavor. For example, you can add vegan cheese or extra herbs to give it a new twist.

This soup is perfect for a cozy night in, or as a starter for a dinner party. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and make a delicious meal out of them. 🥔

If you're looking for a comforting and hearty dish that's easy to make, give this creamy potato soup a try. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. You can serve it with a piece of bread or crackers, or even with a salad.
